    摘要: A turbine assembly comprising a housing comprising first and second volutes which define a respective first and second flow passage. A circumferential outlet portion of each volute is defined by first and second tongues. The housing further comprises a first aperture in which a vane assembly is received. The vane assembly comprises a plurality of vanes circumferentially distributed about a turbine wheel-receiving bore, each vane comprising a leading edge and a trailing edge. Each vane has a fixed orientation. The vanes comprise a first vane and a second vane. The first vane having its leading edge disposed in closest proximity to a tip of the first tongue. The second vane having its leading edge disposed in closest proximity to a tip of the second tongue. The leading edge of each vane at least partly overlaps the tip of the proximate tongue circumferentially.

    摘要: A turbine wheel consists of a first shroud component and a second bladed disc component. The shroud component comprises a shroud structure, a hub structure and a spoke formed integrally therewith and extending between the shroud structure and the hub structure. The bladed disc component comprises a hub member having inner and outer rims, turbine blades disposed on the outer rim, and at least one receiving zone for receiving the spoke, said at least one receiving zone extending radially between the inner and outer rims. The shroud component and the bladed disc component are connected and thus provide the turbine wheel with a shrouded portion. A shrouded turbine wheel can therefore be conveniently assembled starting from at least two components. Further, these components have simplified geometries for easy manufacture, for example using a casting technique, while the overall mechanical performance of the turbine is preserved or improved.

    摘要: A rotary turbine bypass valve comprises a valve chamber and a valve rotor. The chamber is positioned at a junction of an inlet port, an outlet port and a bypass port. The inlet port is configured to receive exhaust gas, the outlet port is configured to fluidly communicate with a turbine inlet, and the bypass port is configured to fluidly communicate with an exhaust aftertreatment device.
    The rotor comprises a first and second recess, the first recess defining a primary flow passage, the second recess defining a secondary flow passage. The rotor is rotatable between a first position in which the rotor substantially blocks exhaust gas flow through the bypass port and a second position in which the rotor permits such. The secondary flow passage is configured to selectively permit fluid communication between the inlet port and the bypass port when the primary flow passage is partially blocked.

    摘要: There is disclosed a bearing housing for a turbocharger. The bearing housing comprises a body and a mounting flange. The body is configured to receive one or more bearings. The one or more bearings are configured to support rotation of a shaft about an axis. The mounting flange extends around the body. The mounting flange comprises a plurality of bores, a first face and a plurality of cavities. The plurality of bores configured to receive a fastener therethrough. The first face is configured to engage a corresponding mounting flange of a turbine housing. The plurality of cavities are in communication with the plurality of bores. The plurality of cavities are axially recessed relative to the first face.

    摘要: A valve system comprising a valve chamber at a junction of an inlet port, an outlet port and a bypass port, the inlet port configured for fluid communication with exhaust gas, the outlet port configured for fluid communication with an inlet of a turbine, and the bypass port configured for fluid communication with an exhaust aftertreatment device; a rotary valve comprising a valve rotor which rotates about a valve axis within the valve chamber between a first position to permit gas flow through the bypass port and a second position to block gas flow. At least one of the valve rotor and the valve chamber comprises a protrusion and the other comprises a recess, wherein, in the first position, the protrusion and recess are spaced from one another, and, in the second position the recess receives the protrusion such that gas flow between the protrusion and recess is substantially prevented.
